Advice on Trafficlogic?

A client is interested in purchasing the pay-per-click services of:

http://www.trafficlogic.com

Does anyone know of this company? Is it worth it?

They are currently utilizing Overture in combination with organic search engine optimization.

Thank you!

I know about trafficlogic. My company uses them and i had to develop the keyword list. They pretty much do organic content writing and write out information about your topic. Their homepage sends you to www.articleinsider.com "to showcase in-depth content network" so i guess they have a whole network of content there. My company had me make sure that they weren't going to get us banned so i researched them and called sevearl of their clients and found a pretty good record actually. Also they run Google Adsense on their content so we figured Google wouldnt work with them if they were doing anything tricky.

They send us about 450 visitors/day which is good for us, although we want a lot more of course. Also, sales from their traffic are higher than what we get from Overture (about even with Adwords - Overture sends us about 900 visitors per day). The only issue i found was it takes a long time for the traffic to ramp up. We didnt get any traffic for the first several months. I had to keep explaining to people here that its normal for it to take that long for organic traffic to build up... but secretly i was alittle nervous until the traffic kicked in since my butt was on the line for this deal since i recommended we try them!

Im now looking for other SEM firms to use to get some more traffic. Does anyone have any ideas of other good SEM firms? Has anyone ever tried Market Leap? they're calling me trying to talk me into their service now. Thanks in advance for any feedback on who i should use next.

Don't waste your money... TrafficLogic is a SCAM if you want to kiss your money goodbye go to Vegas… At least then when you get ripped off they buy you a drink.

Just as an update, it seems that Traffic Logic is now part of www.infosearchmedia . Since they started articleinsider, our traffic has increased by 55% with them. We are happy with them. I suppose that since they're dealing with the natural search results, they might not always work as well for tougher categories every time. This is more art than science in my opinion. In the end, i would recommend Traffic Logic. I know a few others that use them i have never heard anyone say they are not legit.

If you read the content, it is total junk. Highly generic, possible insulting on how dumb it is. "The best part about buying Axis Rims is that you get Axis Wheels, too!!". Wheels are rims. Like saying "When you buy Chanel high heels, you get Chanel shoes too!!". Blech...

Just sentences with keywords and no meaning. It's obvious to me their "editors" know nothing about what they are writing about (but they do get some rank in the search engines).

I dunno, I bet they are out of Vegas to boot (the home city of the scam companies).

How is Traffic Logic a scam? If you have some first-hand knowledge please share it because I use them too. My experience with them has been good - their traffic is cheaper than Overture & Google and I get good results from it....however, if there is some problem with them I would like to know about it.

While I agree that some of their content is not the greatest, the stuff they did for me was actually pretty good. But even if some of their content isn't top notch, that doesn't really say "scam" to me. A lot of the stuff I read on other reputable sites, like about.com, is just as questionable (I guess quality is always a matter of opinion). When I think "scam" I think of cloaking and hidden text and link farms...not creating content.

I just wanted to try to get a follow up on this. I am also considering using this company. They claim the cost is less than Overture and Adwords, but the conversion is better. Anyone used them recently?

Hi all:Yes their "editors" are nothing but college kids with no subject expertise and
write junk keyword articles. They will not allow advertisers to write thearticles themselves even if you are an expert. I asked and they siteda conflict of interest. So that idea won't fly with them.As far as any progress, I have been using their Pay Per Action package
which I paid $1500. It's been about 4 months and my traffic is even less
than it was the prior months and absolutely ZERO sales from that venue
(thank goodness we are doing well with other advertising in non-internet venues.)We consider the $1,500 spent on their CPA lost and a lessonlearned in pure internet junk. I contacted them several times and
again last month and according to them the severe drop in traffic and
sales was part of the plan!!! It had to die first then after 6 months it
would zoom up to the top(yeah right). Hate to be cynical but these people
just sell sell sell - their services.Worse still, my "dedicated account executive" has NEVER called me oremailed one time since the campaign went live to check in or see ifshe could help or anything. In fact when I expressed concern to herabout the lack of traffic, she referred me to someone who "knew moreabout that!" All in all I'd say stay far away from them. Theirideas may be well intended but they do NOT deliver money-producingresults at all. I'd say, yes they are a scam in that they over-promise
and do not deliver and absolutely do not follow up. They are schlock
in every manner as far as I'm concerned.

Our site pulls and has pulled in very good money and has a loyalclientele and they have added absolutely nothing to the mix.Their work is spammy and amateurish, only their services sales pitchis slick and honed. In fact I personally was called at least 2-3 timesa week for 4 months until I decided to buy in. After that I never gotanother call. What does that tell you?If you feel the need to "buy in" don't do it. Stick to a plan that'sworking for you and work it yourself. All in all, I've found nothing in terms of
Internet advertising that works consistently (and I know because I worked for many
many online advertising agencies as a copywriter and the best they can offerexposure and that's it.) And because the cost of online advertising in terms of
CPC is so overpriced right now (to boost profits for shareholders) compared to
real-world direct marketing that pays for itself - I'd say keep Internet advertising
to a small percentage of budget until someone actually comes up with
something other than pay-per-click and ezine ads. My 2 cents!Take Care,John

Sorry to hear about your experience. I guess everyone gets different results, but in my case I am happy with Traffic Logic. You are right in that they don't allow you to write the articles, but I guess that is because they are on their site and they own them. My traffic took a while to ramp up so maybe yours will kick in too (I hope so!). I agree that most Internet advertising is inconsistent, but I've found TL to be the best that I've worked with.
Good luck!

And after you have given them a couple thousand dollars, you can't even keep they articles. I wonder if they keep using the articles after you stop using their service.

If you sign up for a traffic campaign (which is what I did) then you are paying only for traffic, not articles. In essence, you are buying an ad on their site which is geared toward your industry -- so no, you can't keep their articles. But if you are interested in buying content for your website, then you can do that too. (I am currently considering this to beef up my own site)

We hired Traffic Logic [which is now infosearchmedia.com] however, our contract was different. We were not willing to "rent" content, so we agreed to pay for and receive ownership of the content after paying monthly for a year. During construction we received 455 click throughs. After the final payment [total $5,200] instead of delivering the content we paid for, Traffic Logic used the content to earn money from our competitors.

There are two reasons not to work with Traffic logic or infosearchmedia [which appear to be the same as they share the same domains, customer list and physical address]:

1) The content they created was optimized for search engines but not for intelligent customers. It consists of keywords carelessly [almost randomly] added to sentences which did not create any cohesive thought pattern or comprehension. The resulting organic search engine links only get readers to click through to their content. Once there, an intelligent reader who begins reading their content will quickly notice it doesn’t read well at all; it is content written and optimized for search engines which they apparently hope no humans actually read. Their SEO of content works to the detriment of human comprehension.
2) They are dishonest and breached two contracts with us, one as Traffic Logic and one as infosearchmedia.com:

Recently, infosearchmedia.com solicited us on the premise they wanted to “make good” on our prior experience with Traffic Logic which they had purchased. I read their Code of Ethics on their website and started to feel good about doing business with them again. Then they offered to honor our prior contract IF we purchased a second 50 pages at a small discount. They basically asked us to buy something we only needed because we had been ripped off. They flat our refused to credit our prior payments. It soon became apparent that infosearchmedia.com was not trying to honor our original contract; they were simply trying to generate new business. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!
